It’s easy to start with the likes of Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards when planning for the NBA five or 10 years from now. But what about role players or players that could one day become stars?

On a new episode of the Just Basketball Show, Chris Manning and Wes Goldberg open the show by discussing Julius Randle having shoulder surgery and what that means for the Knicks. Then, they build out the Just Basketball Show official player portfolio featuring players all 25 and under. The portfolio features blue chip superstars like Luka Doncic; value/growth players with upside like Jalen Williams and Cade Cunningham; players like Victor Wembanyama they want to be in on as early as possible; and penny stock players who are undervalued and, in some cases, have lottery ticket upside.

On a new episode of the Just Basketball Show, Chris Manning and Brendon Kleen open the show by looking at LSU’s Haley Van Lith and Angel Reese both becoming memes for reactions to Cailtin Clark’s shot making in the Iowa-LSU game.
